Here I celebrate the ending… and beginning… and share the next process now that the first draft of this novel is done!

Chapter 26 and rolling… check out where we are and the final stretch!

Heading to the home stretch with Mayden… time to pay attention to pace, structure, and the big question Mayden poses! Enjoy!

Hey all you Mayden readers… Hope your writing is swimming along! This video was shot in the summer, but I decided to wait just a little to create the draft map I speak of here, so even though it says we are on chapter 17, we are actually on chapter 22 when I am doing this ~ It is really worthy when you start to have lots of story details (all of which can change in a second draft, remember). Enjoy!

We have talked about the mash up as a way to get a good book idea, but this video goes deeper… What calls to you?

Where is the big problem in The Mayden Chronicles? We need to know… and soon

Want to see some of my other books?  I show off my publishing history here (has she no shame?!), then go on to talk about where we are with Good and Bad as themes in Chapter 10 and 11–will we have to go backwards and rewrite?

In this “So You Want To Write A Book” video post, I fess up about just how disciplined I’m…NOT.  If the standard one-size-discipline fits all doesn’t actually fit you, click play!
